Important Information >>
By Mitch Kohanek
If you aren't brushing shellac these days, it's either because you've never tried it or you've had a bad experience. Let's see if I can change that.
The number one reason people abandon shellac is they expect it to behave like polyurethane. But shellac and poly are different animals. For starters, shellac uses fast-drying 200-proof grain alcohol, or ethanol, as a solvent. The non-toxic ethanol is "poisoned" with small amounts of toxic solvent such as methanol or acetone in order to render it undrinkable and escape liquor taxes. Ethanol evaporates quickly and requires a different method of application and tools than slowdrying polyurethane varnishes.
A skilled professional can make brushing on any type of coating look easy. But, like any skill, applying shellac takes practice. Were your first hand-cut dovetails perfect?
Practice brushing on a two-foot square panel before you touch anything of value. It's easy to sand the panel back down to the wood and brush it again and again. After you get comfortable with brushing the panel, go to a garage sale and purchase a small table or chair. Lightly sand it with some 320 grit sandpaper and practice brushing on real furniture.
There are two reasons for using any finish: The first is to enhance or change the original appearance of the wood; the second is to protect it.
Shellac creates a warmth and depth that makes inexpensive woods look expensive and expensive woods look even more impressive. So you're covered on the good looks front. As a rule of thumb, use light colored shellac on light woods and a dark colored shellac on darker woods.
Let's look at the protection issue. Many people refrain from using shellac because they've heard it offers little protection. But how much protection does the project really need, and from what? A kitchen table needs a whole lot more protection than a jewelry box or a grandfather clock. Shellac may not be the best choice for a kitchen table but for many other projects shellac offers plenty of protection. Besides beauty and protection, shellac has other distinct advantages: Unlike polyurethane, shellac is repairable and can be fixed without stripping off the old finish. Also, shellac's rapid cure leaves little time for dust to settle into the wet finish and you can recoat in less than an hour. Finally, shellac does not require sanding between coats saving you time and elbow grease.
In recent years, protecting the environment has become another criteria for choosing a finish. Shellac stands out as one of the greenest and least toxic coatings available. Shellac is a pure, natural finish that's often used to coat fruits, vegetables and candy. As always, good ventilation and an organic vapor mask are recommended.
#1: Thin your shellac to a water-like consistency (Photo 1). A 1 to 1-1/2 lb. cut is ideal for beginners. Pre-mixed shellac is usually a three-pound cut (the exception is Zinnser Bulls Eye Seal Coat, which is a 2 lb. cut). This means three pounds of shellac has been mixed into one gallon of alcohol.
#2: Use a high quality brush. A good brush will hold a lot of shellac and apply an even coat without leaving ridges or pronounced brush marks.
One good starter brush is the Winsor & Newton Regency Gold 580 series (Photo 2) made with Taklon synthetic nylon. Another one is the Loew Cornell 7550.
There are two ways to brush shellac: Lay down a thick layer using a slow gravity-feed method or paint it on thin and work fast. I use both of these brushing techniques on a small tabletop: the gravity- feed method on a molded edge and the rapidbrushing method on a top. I prefer the gravity method on the edges because the brush can cover the whole edge and leave a relatively thick, even coat without worrying about ridges. I use the fast and thin method on the top of the table because it's less prone to leaving ridges and brush marks. For this table I will use a 1-1/2 lb. cut of shellac and a 2 in. Taklon bristle brush.
Set up a raking light so it washes across the area you are brushing (Photo 3). Shellac sets up fast and is pretty unforgiving if a brushing defect goes undetected even for a minute. The light will illuminate any runs and "holidays" (missed spots) before the shellac has time to set. If you notice a brush mark or a holiday, and it's been longer than 10 seconds, leave it alone. Going back will only make it worse. A minor amount of sanding with 320-grit sandpaper will get rid of the brush mark. A holiday will disappear when you apply the next coat.
Charge the brush with some denatured alcohol (Photo 4). Then brush some clean paper to draw out the excess alcohol. Dip your brush into the shellac 3/4 of the way up to the ferrule. Hold the brush with your fingers firmly on the ferrule.
When brushing a tabletop, I do the edges first using the gravity feed technique (Photo 5). Don't lay down the shellac so heavy that it forms a run, but do maintain a consistent wet look. End the stroke by exiting off the edge of the table like an airplane taking off. Return to the corner where you began and land your brush in the opposite direction like an airplane touching down (Photo 6). Aim for a few inches inside the wet shellac and run the brush past the corner, taking off as you did in the first stroke.
Work your way around all four edges, taking off and landing as you go. If you should accidentally hit the top, immediately wipe it off with a clean rag.
Switch techniques to brush the flat part of the top and use small rapid strokes to lay down a thin coat. Start the stroke by landing your brush near an edge. Brush on the shellac with a rapid back and forth motion. Shoot for three 10 in. strokes every second. When the brush begins to empty, recharge the brush and land it in the dry area just ahead of where you left off (Photo 7). Do the airplane takeoff stroke once you reach the table edge (Photo 8). Don't let the brush hit the edge of the table on a return stroke or you will create a drip for sure. Brush with the grain all the way across the table. On a large surface it is necessary to overlap your strokes (Photo 9). Unlike the gravity feed method that lays down a heavy coat in one continuous motion, this technique lays down a thin layer of shellac with multiple brush strokes. A thin layer sets up fast and does not leave brush marks.
By the time the first coat is done the shellac will be dry enough to apply a second coat. You can take advantage of shellac's fast drying time to apply three coats one after another with no time for dust to settle in and ruin the finish. With a 1 or 1-1/2 lb. cut of shellac it will take about three coats before you start to develop a noticeable build. I generally try to give the object three light coats for the first setting to seal the wood. I like to lay down a minimum of 9 layers in 3 or more settings for a good build. The time frame for additional coats is dependent on temperature and humidity. If your bristles seem to be dragging while applying another coat, then the previous coat has not yet cured – give it more time to dry. The first setting will leave the surface of the wood rough. A light scuff sanding with some 600-grit sandpaper will remove the whiskers. After that, sanding is not necessary until after the final coat has cured and it's time to rub out the finish.
Allow the shellac to fully cure for a few days. Then, do a final rubout. Shellac can be rubbed out to any sheen you want, high gloss or matte.
With enough practice, you will develop your own preferred blend of shellac and alcohol, your own speed for brushing and your own feel for how wet and thick to lay down the shellac. Eventually, you'll get into the different types of brushes and shellacs that are at your disposal. Trust me, it's a lot of fun.
A few sloshes in some clean alcohol will get 95 percent of the shellac out of the brush (Photo 10). Pad the brush with a paper towel or clean rag (Photo 11). Then form the bristles in their proper shape (Photo 12) and you're done. The next time you need to use the brush, place it in some clean alcohol for a few minutes, wipe off the excess on a paper towel and rock and roll.
Finishing with shellac is like any other aspect of woodworking – it takes time and practice to develop the skill. Ultimately, you will find yourself joining the ranks of those who enjoy using a finish that is safe, fully repairable and has a proven historical track record for stability and beauty. That's something really nice to pass on to future generations.
Good luck, and have fun!

1. Thin your shellac before use. Store bought shellac is typically a 3 lb. cut. Mix it 1-to-1 with denatured alcohol for a user-friendly 1- 1/2 lb. cut.
2. A 1-1/2 or 2 in. square flat brush made with golden nylon, or "Taklon" bristles is a great starter brush for applying shellac. It's best on flat surfaces but it can handle a cabriole leg with a little practice and it won't break the bank.
3. Set up a light source at a low angle so it rakes the work area. A raking light will show defects like drips and "holidays" (places you missed) before it's too late to correct them.
4. Charge the brush by soaking it in denatured alcohol for a few minutes before use. This helps the shellac flow better from the brush.
5. Shellac the edges first. Start the brush stroke an inch or two from the end. Move the brush slowly to lay down a long, consistent wet layer of shellac. Nestle the edge of the brush in the fillet to keep excess shellac from accumulating and running when your back is turned.
6. Come back to finish the bare spot where you started the stroke. Think of your brush as an airplane. Land the brush near the unfinished end and then lift off right at the edge to avoid snapping the bristles over the edge. Lifting off prevents pools of shellac from being left at the edge and turning into drips.
7. A completely different brushing technique is used on the top surface. Instead of a long and slow stroke, use short fast strokes. Land the loaded brush in a dry area and with rapid back and forth strokes work the shellac back into the wet area. Aim for a thin, even layer of shellac.
8. Finish the stroke at the edge. Lift the brush as it passes over the edge just like an airplane taking off. This prevents the brush from pushing shellac over the edge and dripping down the freshly finished edge.
9. Overlap your strokes on a large surface. Any time you re-wet the brush, land the brush in a dry area. Use a back and forth stroke to blend the new stroke into the wet shellac ahead of it and beside it.
10. When the brushing is over, cleaning your brush is a breeze. Just swish it around in a container with clean denatured alcohol. This will clean out most of the shellac from the brush. Unlike varnish or water-based finishes, it okay to leave some residue in the brush.
11. Pull the brush across a folded paper towel or rag to remove the excess alcohol.
12. Form the bristles so they dry in their proper shape. The brush will dry stiff from the shellac left in the brush. To use again, just soak the brush in alcohol for a few minutes.

Practical dispositions in conformity with standards of excellence or with principles of practical reason. The seven cardinal virtues of the Christian tradition include the four natural, or cardinal, virtues, those inculcated in the old pagan world that spring from the common endowment of humanity, and the three theological virtues, those specifically prescribed in Christianity and arising as special gifts from God. The natural virtues are prudence, temperance, fortitude, and justice; this enumeration, said to go back to Socrates, is found in Plato and Aristotle. To these St. Paul added the theological virtues of faith, hope, and lovevirtues which, in Christian teaching, do not originate naturally in humanity but are instead imparted by God through Christ and then practiced by the believer.

FDA Outlines its Approach to Personalized Medicine in Report
A new report issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) outlines the steps the agency is taking to foster the development of personalized medicine.
The report, "Paving the Way for Personalized Medicine: FDA's Role in a New Era of Medical Product Development," describes how the FDA is guiding the direction of personalized medicine by providing clarity and guidance to industry to encourage the development of new products, and working with university scientists, standards organizations, practicing physicians and patients to validate new diagnostics and therapeutics. The agency also hpoes to address the pipeline problem for drugs and devices by identifying ways to streamline regulatory processes and drive innovation. It defines personalize medicine in general terms as "the use of two medical products - typically, a dianostic device and a therapeutic product - to improve patient outcomes."
In the report's introduction, FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg pledges to remain committed to personalized medicine. "I have made it a priority to continue to evolve FDA's regulatory processes in response to—and in anticipation of—scientific developments that are critical for the development of personalized therapeutics and diagnostics," she said.
The move toward personalized medicine has gained steam as a way to tailor medical treatments to the characteristics, needs, and preference of individual patients. Hamburg wrote in a blog post earier this fall that cancer drugs increasingly are partnered with diagnostic devices to ascertain whether a patient will respond to a treatment based on a tumor's genetic characteristics. She noted that clinicians can use medical imaging to identify the best implantable device to treat a patient with clogged coronary arteries. "Given these trends, the future of medicine is rapidly approaching the promising level of care and cure once imagined by Hollywood in futuristic dramas like 'Star Trek,' " she wrote.
The report lists several examples of personalized medical devices, including a tinnitus masker, which custom tailors audio signals to suit the hearing requirements of patients, pedicle screw spinal systems, an endovascular graft, and an artificial pancreas system that monitors glucose levels and delivers insulin.
While there is great promise in personalized medicine, challenges remain, including a limited understanding of the intrinsic biology of diseases; the reluctance of some clinicians to use the new diagnostics; and a field in which the returns on investment are perceived as low.
The report touches on several substantive issues of particular interest to the medical device industry, including:
Challenges in regulating whole genome sequencing
. The FDA notes in the report that whole genome sequencing (WGS) will present regulatory challenges: the platforms are "still evolving rapidly," approaches to analytically assess WGS test performance have not been agreed on, and the "exceedingly rare" variants to be analyzed make patient recruitment difficult. According to the report, the agency is considering possibilities for identifying a representative set of markers that could be assessed in order to validate a platform's performance.
3-D printing of personalized devices
. FDA describes how physicians are using computed tomography imaging, computer-aided design, and 3-D printing to create personalized device implants tailored to a specific patient's anatomy. The FDA's emergency-use regulations were applied in one example highlighted in the report, but FDA's efforts to regulate 3-D printing at the point-of-care could prove challenging.
Potential regulation of laboratory developed tests (LDTs)
. FDA announced in June 2010 that it intends to begin regulating LDTs as medical devices, and it has been widely reported that FDA plans to do so in a series of guidance documents. In the report, FDA reiterates that "FDA has been developing a risk-based framework for regulatory oversight of LDTs." The report does not provide a release date for the guidance documents, and CDRH did not list them in its proposed guidance development list for fiscal year 2014.
Drug-diagnostic co-development
. The CDRH had previously stated that it would release draft guidance on drug-diagnostic co-development in September, but it did not do so. According to the report, agency staff in the relevant centers "are working together to develop guidance that outlines principles for the co-development process," as well as developing recommendations for how to coordinate the review of co-development programs. The timeline for this guidance now is unclear; for example, CDRH did not include the co-development guidance in the recently-released list of guidance documents that it intends to publish in FY 2014. The report discusses the two draft guidance documents on companion diagnostics and clinical trials enrichment strategies as providing insight into the logistical challenges inherent in product co-development, including timing and alignment of development pathways for two products and technical and ethical issues in clinical trial design.

NEW YORK -- A stat pack sat on the desk in front of Bobby Valentine as he tried to process his team's latest defeat. The Red Sox manager peeled at the corners of the pages like a flipbook, punctuating statement after statement with a small ripping noise of protest.
"The home runs," rip . . . rip . . . "That's the way they live and they had a bunch of them tonight." Rip . . . Rip . . . "Other than the home runs, he had pretty good stuff . . . He wasn't that bad," rip . . . "He just wasn't good enough." Rip . . . Rip . . .
His words were measured but his tic -- repeated roughly 100 times in a three-minute conversation -- betrayed his frustrations. After the Sox' 6-4 loss to the Yankees, he wasn't alone.
Carl Crawford was asked how challenging it had become to show up at the park.
"What other option do we have? We've got to bounce back and be ready to play tomorrow," he said.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia, when presented with a similar inquiry, nearly turned purple.
"That's a stupid question," he scolded. "Next."
But there was nothing else to ask. And so, the catcher waited in silence for the reporters to disperse from his locker before getting up and leaving.
Dustin Pedroia celebrated his 29th birthday by blasting a three-run homer to left and then nearly going deep to left-center on a shot that died at the wall just to the left of center field. When Curtis Granderson glided under the ball at the fence, approximately 400 feet from the plate, Pedroia jumped and did a 360 while howling in frustration.
That was all he had to say on the subject. The birthday boy slid silently past a group of reporters waiting to talk with him after the game.
However, he had a spokesperson at Yankee Stadium who acknowledged that the current culture around the team -- both the oppressive weight of losing and the controversies surrounding the team over the past week, including the idea that Pedroia was at the center of a player insurrection against Valentine -- have taken a toll on the second baseman.
"The other day, Pedroia was playing baseball out there [ticked] off and not focused on what he wants to do, because that report came out saying he was against the manager," DH David Ortiz told a small group of reporters that included MLB.com. "How do you think he's going to feel out there? This game is 75 percent mental and the rest physical -- or 50-50 probably -- but your mind has a lot to do with your performance, and when you see somebody trying to put you against your manager, it will be a distraction.
"And knowing the Pedroia that I know, that kid, he wants to do nothing but play baseball no matter who his manager is, no matter who's the umpire, who's the fan -- he don't care. He wants to go out there and beat the crap out of whoever he's playing against that day. I was really mad, because I've been able to watch him play the game the way we are used to watching him play -- especially in the situation we are, it's kind of [messed up]."
There is, of course, plenty that is [messed up] about the Red Sox, who now must live in an incredibly uncomfortable atmosphere engendered by their struggles and the perception of a fractured organization. Put simply, the team faces a dreadful workplace environment, one in which -- as Ortiz suggested -- it has become increasingly difficult for players to enjoy their jobs and to perform them effectively.
The Sox are now 5-11 in an August that has been an exercise in circling the drain. And so, it is worth asking whether there is any way out of the team's current predicament.
There is at least one possibility that could help to alter the negative dynamic around the team: Play the kids. At a time when the air weighs heavy with the subject of the team's agonized march off a cliff, increased playing time for Ryan Lavarnway (who has puzzlingly started just six of 17 games since his call up) and, perhaps, a call-up of Jose Iglesias might help the Sox to alter the narrative.
At a time when the team is surrounded by negativity, the injection of prospect energy could help to alleviate some of the building pressure around the team. In this instance, increased playing time for prospects would represent not merely a future consideration but also might help to improve the team's immediate plight.
Lavarnway, of course, has struggled in his limited playing time in the majors, going 3-for-24 with a double and two walks this year. But his minor league track record suggests that he has the potential to be a more impactful contributor if given more regular plate appearances.
Moreover, the Sox are in a position where they need to get a more definite sense of what kind of catching workload he will be ready to assume at the major league level in 2012. Familiarity he gains with the pitching staff now will help to clarify the team's offseason catching situation, foremost, to make a determination about whether to keep Jarrod Saltalamacchia or to trade him at a time when he will be due a considerable bump from his $2.5 million salary through arbitration.
Saltalamacchia is widely respected in the clubhouse, and his emergence as one of the most productive everyday catchers in the majors was a terrific story for the Sox through June. But his numbers have gone into the tank since the beginning of July, a stretch during which he's hitting .174/.244/.321/.565 with 48 strikeouts in 119 plate appearances. The team is desperate for players capable of getting on base; that's one of Lavarnway's foremost traits, and one of Saltalamacchia's most notable limitations.
Iglesias wouldn't necessarily help the team's on-base percentage -- though it is worth noting that, after going 2-for-4 with a walk on Friday, he now has a compelling .317/.394/.397/.791 line for the month of August. But his ability to make a highlight reel play a night would generate excitement and energy for a team lacking in both right now.
It is worth noting that increased playing time for Iglesias would come at the expense of one of the team's better performers this month, as Mike Aviles has bounced back from his pain-relieving injection in his toe to hit .279/.347/.372/.719 this month. Moreover, he made a spectacular diving play on a ball up the middle on Friday, continuing a year in which he's been one of the best defensive shortstops in the game.
Still, the situation is very similar to the one that the Sox face at catcher, where the team a) needs to make a determination about the degree to which Iglesias factors into its plans for next year and b) can benefit from having a unique defender capable of making a bunch of unbelievable plays that will become conversation topics. Aviles can continue to get regular playing time through a mix of games at short, third and perhaps even in the outfield, exploring his value as the utility player that the Sox acquired him to be at last year's trade deadline.
Right now, based both on the team's performance to date and on the smothering atmosphere surrounding the team, it's virtually impossible to imagine the Red Sox making any sort of run to make up the 6 ½ games between them and the Orioles, Rays and Tigers in the wild card (not to mention the six games between them and the A's or the four games between them and the Angels).
Given that reality, changes are in order, and the manager isn't going anywhere, at least for the rest of the 2012 season. The idea of blowing up the roster in the middle of the season is absurd.
But small tweaks to either the roster or the playing time could help to give the team something fresh in an atmosphere that has grown pungently stale. The team has an opportunity to get a better handle on its future in a fashion that also could help in the more immediate term. It might not be enough to vault the Sox into contention -- frankly, what is? -- but at a time when the team is enduring its worst stretch of the year, players like Lavarnway and Iglesias offer the team its best chance of moving forward.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

US, China talk nice on trade, pork ban lifted
29 Oct 2009 15:53:43 GMT
WASHINGTON/HANGZHOU, China, Oct 29 (Reuters) - China pledged to lift its
ban on U.S. pork on Thursday and the United States took a step toward
easing restrictions on chicken imports as the two superpowers agreed to
tackle a series of trade irritants. The flurry of trade accords between
China and America comes ahead of President Barack Obama's visit to China
in mid-November to reach agreements on currency, the environment and trade
with its second-largest trading partner and the largest foreign holder of
its government debt. [ID:nPEK8692] China's promise on pork sent U.S. hog
futures higher on Thursday and also lifted the stock of Smithfield Foods
Inc <SFD.N>, the largest U.S. hog and pork producer. "We're going to work
through whatever details remain to try to get this done as expeditiously
as possible," U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told Reuters during a
telephone interview from Hangzhou, where the countries held trade talks.
[ID:nN29356378] China is a top buyer of U.S. meat, chicken, soybeans and
other products, purchasing $560 million worth of pork in 2008. China
imposed the ban on U.S. pork five months ago following the outbreak of the
H1N1 flu virus, also known as swine flu. The disease cannot be caught by
eating pork. China's Agriculture Minister Sun Zhengcai did not say when he
would announce a formal end to the pork ban. "He didn't put a specific
timeline on it, but as you know President Obama is coming to China in a
couple of weeks, and I don't know whether that is part of their
calculation or not," Vilsack said. China's willingness to lift its pork
ban was not related to the recent move by Congress to end its ban on
imports of Chinese poultry products, Vilsack said. "I asked Minister Sun
that specific question, and he was very emphatic in indicating that
there's no connection," he said. But Vilsack said his department will soon
begin the process to review China's food safety laws and poultry plants
with an eye to allowing U.S. imports of poultry meat. Vilsack said
officials did not discuss China's recent anti-dumping investigation into
U.S. chicken exports. [ID:nPEK218176] News that China would scrap the ban
sent U.S. hog futures <0#LH:> at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange up 2
percent early Thursday. Hog futures have fallen about 40 percent after
hitting a high of 90 cents per lb in August 2008 amid high prices for
feedstock, the recession blunting demand and the H1N1 flu. Shares of
Smithfield Foods Inc rose as much as 5 percent to $13.92 per share
Thursday morning at the New York Stock Exchange. BEEF ISSUES REMAIN While
making progress on pork and chicken, China and the United States are still
at odds over beef. China has banned U.S. beef imports since the United
States found its first case of mad cow disease in 2003. "I think there's
still work to be done" on the beef issue, Vilsack said, noting talks
focused on pork and poultry trade. "I think we have to be creative. I
think we have to put something on the table (on beef trade) for the
Chinese to respond to, and we intend to do that very quickly," he said.
Vilsack said he had established "a good personal chemistry" with Sun
during the talks. "We're going to try to build on the momentum that was
created during this meeting" to focus on other outstanding farm trade
issues, he said.

NEW YORK -- Carmelo Anthony ran out into the center of the basketball universe Wednesday night, out of the shadows and onto the floor at Madison Square Garden. Moments earlier, Skylar Grey's haunting voice filled the building with words that summed up the night for one of the NBA's biggest stars.
Tell the world I'm comin' home.
Anthony was finally home, in the city where he was born, after a six-month odyssey through the bizarre, often comical maze of in-season free agency -- the NBA's new craze. This was the feel-good part of a trend that rocked the league to its core on the very day Anthony made his debut with the Knicks -- joining Amar'e Stoudemire in the kind of superstar union that has taken over the sport.
"I've never experienced anything like that before," said Anthony, who had 27 points and 10 rebounds in his Knicks debut, a 114-108 victory over the Bucks that brought the Garden crowd to its feet -- and I mean everyone -- 20 minutes before tipoff.
It was the kind of sports spectacle that happens nowhere else, the reason Stoudemire and Anthony wanted to play here. And the way this shell game is going, this conga line of stars joining forces and dictating their terms, they won't be the last.
"I think New York needed a moment like this," Anthony said earlier in a packed news conference, less than two hours before he would put on his blue and orange No. 7 Knicks jersey and run out of the tunnel on the 33rd Street end of the Garden.
Anthony needed it, too. He had endured six months of speculation, endless trade talk, meetings with billionaires, and a high-stakes game of chicken over a $65 million contract extension -- all handled without blinking or caving under the pressure, because this was Anthony's end game all along. This was his doing, what he wanted. Like everyone else of his stature in basketball, what was good for LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh would be good for him. What was good for Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce would be good for him, too.
"I think it started when K.G. came to the East," Stoudemire said, "and everyone started trickling over. I think the East is becoming a powerhouse."
This was a night to remember at the Garden, a night when sound traveled to corners of the building that have been quiet for more than a decade. A night when people on the streets were asking patrons on smoke breaks at halftime if they could borrow their ticket stubs, just to go inside and stand there for a few minutes. Just to be there.

Eye on Basketball |
"Just running out of that tunnel, and them doing that welcome home video, and the crowd just going nuts," Anthony said. "I will always remember this."
Under these lights, the bright lights of the Garden, the latest star-driven power play was easy to embrace. Anthony, 26, is the most likeable of this new generation of stars who will carry the league to new heights over the next decade. He is forthright and earnest, and his smile and personality will go a long way toward delivering the $10 million in annual earnings that sources say his agents estimated would be his in New York, as a Knick, over and above what he'd make anywhere else.
Unfortunately for Anthony, what he got himself involved in here -- this staredown with Denver in which he bulled his way to the sport's biggest market the way he blows past defenders on his way to the rim -- has a dark underside that will bring the NBA to a standstill in a few short months.
We may very well look back to Feb. 23, 2011, as a day to remember for more reasons than Anthony's debut in a Knicks uniform. We may be able to trace the Armageddon that's coming to this very day, too.
Around the time Anthony was on the floor for the first time as a Knick, putting up shots in a one-man morning shootaround, word began to spread through the NBA that the Utah Jazz would be nobody's fools. In stunning news, they traded Deron Williams to the Nets -- a full year before they would've found themselves in the same desperate position that the Nuggets were in with Anthony.
The move sent shockwaves through the league, because if a player of Williams' magnificent talent could be dumped at the trade deadline for an inferior player and draft picks, nothing was sacred. Anthony was living in the feel-good moment of this star-driven trend Wednesday night, the way James, Wade and Bosh soaked it all in back in July on their little smoke-filled stage in South Beach. The flip side, the dark underbelly of what counts for progress in today's NBA, can be found in Utah and Denver -- not to mention Cleveland and Toronto. The stars were fleeing those outposts as if running from burning buildings, and the Jazz chose not to be played. A family-run team with firm ownership and the same coach, Jerry Sloan, for more than two decades until he resigned abruptly after a confrontation with Williams, the Jazz were in ruins Wednesday. But at least it was a detonation of their own doing, a nuclear option that was their only recourse -- even 17 months before their franchise player was scheduled to hit the free-agent market.
Who's next? Well of course, it's the guy who started this next phase of NBA star alignment in July, Chris Paul. In speaking with general managers in the weeks leading up to the trade deadline, I asked if any team would be bold enough to do the very thing Utah did Wednesday -- trade its star a full year before they'd be strong-armed by the free-agent power game. Too risky, they all said. Can't sell that to the fans. Take your shot while you have it, and deal with the consequences later.
And yet boom went the dynamite in Utah Wednesday, when a franchise refused to stand by and let the star movement pass it by. The next logical question is, will New Orleans do the same with Paul, who put the wheels in motion with his toast at Anthony's wedding to forming "our own Big Three in New York" with Anthony and Stoudemire? Would a shunned franchise like Cleveland, for example, package its assets in a bold play for Paul -- using the scraps it received in the sign-and-trade that gave James his free pass to Miami -- and then hope it could trap him there with a franchise tag?
It's a good idea, except for the fact that the Hornets -- with a persistent habit of making short-term moves to add future salary, despite meager resources to pay the tab -- are the NBA's charity case. The league assumed ownership of the destitute franchise in December, and all transactions must be approved by the commissioner's office. I would like to dare a team like the Cavs to propose a trade for Paul that the Hornets couldn't refuse, just to put David Stern in the position of having to tell his owners, once and for all, if he's in favor of this superstar insanity or not.
And if Stern was getting ripped by Mavericks owner Mark Cuban for allowing the Hornets to take on salary and give out cash in an otherwise unremarkable trade with Sacramento on Wednesday, I'd like to hear what the other 29 owners would say about Paul -- an asset they technically own -- being pawned off for pennies on the dollar the way Williams was.
Someone has to stop the madness, because Paul and Dwight Howard are next -- and who knows what alternate-universe trades will be consummated before Thursday's 3 p.m. ET deadline. The Anthony saga, I must admit, made for good copy and good theater -- something the NBA is finding it can market and sell much more easily than the game itself. It is hard to judge Anthony as harshly as we did LeBron, because he is well meaning and deserves the success he will enjoy in New York, back home. He was born for this stage, for this moment that embraced him Wednesday night.
Everyone should enjoy it while it lasts, because we are four months away from the owners rebelling and taking control of their sport back from the players who are running it. Anthony came home Wednesday night, to the grandest building in the sport, where he will put on many performances that make us smile as widely as he does. The problem is the darkness and disappointment in all the other arenas, in the markets that can't keep their stars and have begun giving up the fight to keep them.

I drive a 2010 F250 with a 6 inch lift and 35s, at about 67,000 mile I started experiencing "death wobble". I did some research and the Ready Lift trac bar design made a lot of sense. I installed it and the "death wobble" was gone. Installation while straight forward and simple was still a major pain. The factory ball joint used on the trac bar is very large and I had to modify my ball joint press to work. Highly recommend this upgrade.

The Designjet Z5200 PostScript Printer from HP is designed to maximize your printing resources and make in-house printing more affordable. The large ink tanks cut down the cost per page and its automatic calibration saves resources by calibrating without printing a calibration sheet. The HP Vivera ink produces high-quality prints in both grayscale and color and is engineered to resist smudging, fading, and water damage.
The printer has its own built-in 160 GB hard disk which means none of the computer's RAM is used for printing, letting you continue your work while printing large files. Having the built-in hard disk also means you can store commonly printed files in the printer for easy anytime access from anywhere on your local network. The printer comes with a browser-based interface that lets anyone connected to the network monitor the printer's progress. Included with the printer is HP's Instant Printing Pro, letting you add multiple files to the print queue without having to open each one. Once the files are in the queue you can dictate to the printer when the files should be printed. Because the printer constantly monitors resources, it's able to calculate whether or not it has enough supplies left for the next job, saving you time and resources.
Easy And Intuitive
- With this printer you save half the steps needed to get a print so it's easier, and you're more productive. Take advantage of a printer that is so easy and intuitive, you'll wonder why you waited to bring large-format printing in house.
- Eliminate and automate many of the steps involved with traditional large-format printing. HP Instant Printing Pro streamlines the printing process from beginning to end with fast, easy file preparation and automatic nesting, preview, orientation, and crop marks.
- Achieve your desired colors quickly while minimizing unnecessary and expensive trial-and-error printing. This printer's embedded spectrophotometer enables automatic calibration and profiling for greater color accuracy and consistency.
Quick Printing
- Save up to 5 minutes on every print. Add large-format printing to your offering without slowing down your workflow. Eliminate time-consuming steps, see fast speeds, and process and manage jobs more effectively with high productivity.
- Speed up the printing process by eliminating some of the time-consuming steps along the way. The HP Designjet Z5200 PostScript Printer lets you submit many files at a time, directly to the printer, without having to wait to open an application.
- Turn around orders quickly and still deliver the high quality that customers demand. With the HP Designjet Z5200 PostScript Printer and HP Vivera pigment inks, you can print up to 445 ft²/hr at production speed without sacrificing quality.
- Large Print Jobs Won't Slow Down Computer
- The printer's 160 GB hard disk provides a large buffer, reducing the chance that your workstation will lock up when printing large files and simplifying the process when you need to reprint.
- Automatic Calibration
- The embedded spectrophotometer provides automatic calibration and media profiling for greater consistency and accuracy every time you print. No need to waste ink or paper on calibration.
- Easily Monitor Resources
- The printer tracks ink and paper levels so you always know how much is left and if you have enough to finish the current print job. The embedded web server lets you monitor these levels from any computer using the printer's web interface.
Any File Format
- Experience dependable, high-quality results on a range of applications, no matter the file format your customer brings. Get high-impact color that's delivered accurately and consistently. Gain efficient operation and a low TCO with this HP printing system.
- Count on a truly dependable printing experience with a built-in PostScript interpreter for in-printer processing of PS and PDF files. And with HP Professional PANTONE Emulation you can meet customer color expectations more quickly and reliably.
- Save time and money by minimizing trial and error printing. This printer's embedded spectrophotometer provides automatic calibration and media profiling for greater consistency and accuracy with the first and every print.
- Optimize your everyday printing and achieve a new level of quality and value. HP Universal Bond Paper and HP Bright White Inkjet Paper feature ColorPRO Technology, providing visibly enhanced print quality and cost-effective everyday printing.

Obama's justice department imposes a chilling effect on the free press as it seeks to silence FOX correspondent James Rosen. http://www.LibertyPen.com
*** Make no mistake: this is a full-on 1st Amendment Destruction Beta-testing, by the WH, vs. what they consider to be the least popular 'news' outlet in America; as if CNN or MSDNC are any different. But as y'all know, perception is key in geopolitics, not to mention: with any propaganda.
FakeNewsChumps or not: Hang together, or surely, hang separately.
The only question is, now that WH has made it clear on no uncertain terms, what they're gonna do, is Roger Ailes gonna finally take off the gloves, and expose, 24/7 the lunacy and the crimes of the State/The Leviathan, especially the current regime, until they all get impeached?

Sorry dude. I just get frustrated when I see anyone doing anyhing that can have the effect of legitimizing, as a genuine information source, the very source that deligitimizes (when it matters) everything that I/we support. Like Ron Paul, liberty, etc. The msm is dead to me, and i so want it to be dead to others. They only use truth to build trust so they can manipulate everyone when it matters, like election time.

I hear the frustration in your voice. but most here know, and I would venture to guess, feel similarly, at times.
it's always a balance between hyper-paranoia vigilance, and ignorant bliss. lol. I'd say I too bounce back and forth between the two extremes; though seldom, but am not immune from it.o)
but the way I see it?
if one is deeply secure in your own assessment of the world, after yrs of self-reflection arriving at such views, nothing you see, read, or hear really bothers you, anymore; they're all visibly public reference points, nothing more. all info: all tools in 'de-programming' toolbox, to be able to, choose to be utilized, or not.
one can choose to educate others with such propaganda, to let them know 'this is HOW they do these things, etc' to open minds: like all info, it's what you choose to do with it, that matters, or not.
if you want to know WHY I personally post these types of vids?
well, it's just to let those interested in letting OTHERS know, what options are currently available in helping them 'sow Red-Pill seeds.' nothing more, nothing less.
Yeah. I 'get' that it does invariably feed into the useless biotch-fest feed-back loop of simply complaining about the 'oh woe is me, the world sucks, I know it sucks, how much more do you or I need to know it sucks!' I'm only human, too, and am occasionally prone to it, as well. but, given the option, I choose to be at least aware of these visible geopolitical markers, than not. 'tis all folks.o)

Seven William S. Hart Union High School District schools were awarded medals by the U.S. News and World Report in their annual ranking of high school around the nation.
Of more than 2,000 high schools in California, five William S. Hart Union High School District schools made it into the U.S. News and World Report's top rankings, according to a recent report by the online publisher.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
U.S. News and World report awards gold, silver or bronze medals to schools based a number of different factors that include API scores and student-to-teacher ratios. Of the schools analyzed, 574 were ranked, seven of which were Hart District schools.
Hart High, Saugus High, Valencia High, Canyon High and West Ranch High all received silver medals, ranking between #171 and #333 out of the 574 schools.
For all five schools, the student-to-teacher ratio is less than 30:1, with API scores at more than 800.
Academy of the Canyons and Learning Post also received bronze medals.
The report also includes other specifics about each school, including the percentage of minority students attending the school, the number of teachers and the school's ranking among high schools across the Unites States.
"I am really proud of the efforts of staff at all our schools, which is truly indicative of these national and state rankings and all the good things happening across our district," said Superintendent Rob Challinor on the Hart District's Facebook page. "For the Hart School District to have five schools ranked in the top 2,000 in the nation, of which four are in the top 200 in California, is truly an accomplishment earned by our hard-working students, dedicated teachers, caring counselors, staff and administration and the decisions of the governing board, who all have what's best for our students in mind."
